The three Niagara dailies (St. Catharines Standard, Niagara Falls Review and Welland Tribune) reported on Allie Columbus, who will take over as head coach of Niagara College’s women’s basketball team later this month.
Originally from Hamilton, the 27-year-old played three seasons at Brock University and spent a fourth on the sidelines recovering from an ACL injury. She later returned to Brock as an assistant coach while completing a master’s degree in kinesiology.
“I’m really excited about the opportunity, and I feel pretty confident in my ability to do so,” said Columbus, who, at NC, will succeed Niagara River Lions captain Kimbal Mackenzie who filled the role for one season on an interim basis.
